Tips
Captions people actually read
From our tests.
Bottom position for landscape, middle for vertical clips with UI.
Bold styles (Glide Pop, Rizz) for social; Simple or Plain for tutorials.
Pin the language when speakers have strong accents.
Add a shadow when the background is bright.
Clear audio beats everything — reduce music under speech.
Translate first with dubbing, then subtitle the new language.

Add Subtitles to Video, explained
Burned-in vs closed captions
Burned-in (open) captions are part of the picture, so they show on every platform and autoplay feed — ideal for social clips watched on mute. Closed captions are a separate file viewers can switch on; YouTube and most players support them.
Picking a style
Bold, high-contrast styles like Glide Pop and Rizz grab attention in feeds; Simple and Plain suit tutorials and interviews; Glass and Whisper sit lightly over cinematic footage.
